5 World Heritage Sites You Should Visit in China





One place I've yet to travel to, is China. I marvel in the idea of getting there some time in the near future. I have several Cruises Inc associates and cruise customers who have been there, and they've told me they were thankful for the memories and the sights to be seen. I ran across this article on TravelHoppers by Cheryl Probst (click title). This article provides great information to hold onto, for anyone preparing to travel to China. My biggest desire is to see the Great China Wall and cruise down the Yangtze River (see pictures). Have you ever wanted to see China ? If so, what is your dream adventure.

The official website for China National Tourist Office (Toronto, Canada) offers additional information on things to know and things to do, along with a shopping guide.

My top river picture is of Yangshuo, China. In the China Travel Guide, I learned that Yangshuo lies in the northeast of Guangxi Province and to the southeast of Guilin City. The ethnic minority groups including Hui, Zhuang, Yao and others, enriches cultures for their various festivals. Yangshuo also attracts tourists with its delicious specialty foods, such as Beer Fish, Niang dishes and special snacks including rice noodles and various glutinous rice cakes. You can taste them in most streets of the county. The local specialties such as the Shatian Shaddocks, the kumquats and the Chinese chestnuts is noted for being worth tasting as well. If you want to buy some souvenirs, it's suggested to look for their painted fans, embroidered balls, and painted shirts. These can be purchased in the tourist spots and in the malls of the county.

I love the picture. Very enticing and soothing. What do you think ? Worth visiting for you ?
